Bar soap or body wash?

Soap
Body wash

What do you use the most? I use body wash,no soap mess in the soap dish!

I use shower gel, lots of different scents to choose!

Yes,who uses soap anymore? Even my boyfriend uses a "poof" with body wash

I said body wash, but I actually tend to alternate, and have both in the shower.

Is that what you call those things -- "poofs?" That's so cute!

I'm a germophobe so I find soap bars a bit of a turn off when I'm a guest at someone's house. I use liquid soap all around. I'll only use bar soap if I'm the only one using it.

(Oh, and there is a good reason I became germophobic. Since I started teaching, I've been sick more often than I ever have been in my life!!)

Neither. I prefer something natural like soapbark extract. I am highly sensitive to Sodium Lauryl (or dodeceyl) sulfate.

I use Yardley's Olde English Lavender Body Wash. Living in Arizona, my skin gets awfully dry and this stuff helps. I also use bath gloves, rather than a washcloth - they are just abrasive enough, to exfoliate without irritating my skin.

I also use a *poof* with body wash, as well as hubby-he uses one as well, with body wash(well sometimes soap) But I havent used soap in ages it seeks like.

The idea of rubbing rendered animal fat all over my body to get cleaner makes me feel dirtier. So, body wash for me! And only the clear kind.
And I call it a loofah?

This thread is too funny...

Zissous mom, I think a loofah is those beige sponges that are really hard, they are used to exfoliate..


*Poofs* is what we call 'em up here in Canada

Darn, there's no option for "both".

Because I use soap while my shampoo is in my hair, and good smelling body wash when the conditioner is in my hair. And then after I wash with the body wash, I brush my teeth in the shower (it's the best!)

But yea...I use both.

Oh it's the greatest! I think everyone should brush thier teeth in the shower. I actually always have. Dont know why. But the warm water gets it all out faster, and it feels cleaner. I brushed my teeth at work a few times, and the cold water just doesnt cut it for me. lol.

I use body wash more than soap as it's lessy messy and more variety. I do use body wash with syllica acid (sp?) beads as it helps with ingorwns and buffs the body (better for shaving).

When I have a shower or a bath I use a bar of soap and I had the pump for hand washing.

Body wash here! Mine smells like strawberries...although I may be changing soon. Bumblebees kept checking me out yesterday

I hate bar soap. It's slippery and you get sticky soap scum wherever you have it. What a mess. I use liquid soap all the time.
